Allen West: SitRep: Run-Offs and Recount Update

SITREP | Allen West Guardian Fund

SITUATION REPORT
December 5, 2014

We have not reached the finish line!

A few weeks ago we released a report to our stakeholders, illustrating what The Guardian Fund was able to accomplish because of your unwavering support of our mission to elect conservative minorities and veterans to Congress. More than just quantified election results, what the report ultimately showed was the American people’s demand for strong, fearless leadership in Washington, D.C.

This election cycle, The Guardian Fund was a vehicle for conservative voices across the country and an essential force behind the Republican momentum that ultimately led to a shift in power. However, while most of us celebrated sweeping Republican victories and the end of a long, successful campaign season last month, there were several races in which November 4th did not yield undisputed results for candidates and voters alike.

These ‘undecided’ races cannot be forgotten and we cannot settle in the wake of our party’s recent achievements. To that end, the Guardian Fund has continued to support the recount election of endorsed candidate Martha McSally (AZ-2) and recently announced its support for Louisiana run-off candidates Dr. Ralph Abraham (LA-5) and Congressman Bill Cassidy (LA-Senate).

The mission of The Allen West Guardian Fund continues with these three candidates, and we are determined to see them succeed.

Steadfast and Loyal,

Allen West
Lt. Col. Allen B. West, USA (ret)
U.S. Congressman (2011-2013)

STILL TO BE DECIDED

Martha McSally
(AZ-2)

Martha McSally

RECOUNT UPDATE: Once all votes were tallied on November 4th, Martha McSally led by 161 votes out of more than 219,000 cast in southern Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District. A margin of 200 votes triggers a recount in Arizona, which is scheduled to take place the first week of December. Recent reports say that there are also 133 ballots being contested by Rep. Barber, McSally’s Democrat opponent. However, those same reports say that even if those 133 ballots are counted, McSally’s will still be the likely winner, and new Congresswoman of AZ-2!
